I think bad timing, Jeff.
I talked to Deke and he was bummed that he could'nt make it AND that it was on the weekend of his show.

They were looking at Deke and Big Sandy's band to be on our show too. They can't because of the Geek Fest... BUT, the other names that they are getting are BIG national acts. It'll compete with anything going on that weekend. AND it's gonna only get bigger!

He got really sick while on tour in Spain. We almost lost him for good.

From his brother Dave Alvin:

"After a tough year of rough health and extremely close calls, my brother Phil is alive and kicking. Sadly, we need help to pay his foreign and domestic medical bills. So a bunch of his friends and family will come together to do just that...."

I've been talking with Dave over the phone the last couple of days, helping to get everything together for this amazing show. The Hula Girls are extremely happy to be part of this benefit and happy to be considered a friend to such an amazing musical legend.

Just wait till the other acts are announced. Tickets are already about 50% sold out after only having announced it two days ago!!

Now go listen to some Blasters music!

Ditto what he said!
